Epigenetic Regulation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a potent cytokine which regulates inflammation via the induction of adhesion molecules and chemokine expression. Its expression is known to be regulated in a complex manner with transcription, message turnover, message splicing, translation, and protein cleavage from the cell surface all being independently ...

Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and Age-Related Pathologies
Modern concepts about the «inflammaging» and the role of subclinical inflammation in various age-associated pathology are described in the review. Particular attention is paid to the tumor necrosis factor-α, a key cytokine that plays an important role in

A human inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor alpha. [PDF]
Urine of some febrile patients exhibits a TNF-alpha inhibitory activity (TNF-alpha INH), sensitive to heat and trypsin, with an apparent mol wt of 40-60 X 10(3) and a pI range of 5.5-6.1. As for the Il-1 INH, the TNF INH activity involves a competitive mechanism of action suggesting the existence of a family of negative feedback-regulating molecules ...

We determined whether tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) is expressed with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in myocarditis.Tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme, which has recently been identified as belonging to the family of metalloproteinase disintegrin proteins, is responsible for the conversion of TNF-alpha ...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha and mesangial cells
Bacterial infections promote important alterations in immune, hemodynamic, and metabolic function which can result in irreversible shock. These changes are mediated by host-secreted cytokines rather than by direct action of the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from the cell wall of bacteria.

Eicosanoids and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the kidney [PDF]
The thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL) is capable of metabolizing arachidonic acid (AA) by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways and has been identified as a nephron segment that contributes to salt-sensitive hypertension. Previous studies demonstrated a prominent role for CYP450-dependent metabolism of AA to products that ...

ALPHA TUMOR NECROSIS – AS PREDICTIVE FACTOR IN DENTAL IMPLANT MANAGEMENT
Introduction. The studies regarding the involvement of TNF-alpha together with other pro-inflammatory cytokines in the occurrence and progression of peri-implantitis is of particular importance in the perspective of making an early diagnosis regarding ...
